Thank you for your interest in the Academy. We look forward to connecting with you soon.

Step 2 — See Us

We hold two (virtual) open house sessions, late fall and early spring, to welcome you to the Academy and introduce you to administrators, current students, and alumni. Those who register for the 90-minute meet & greet are also invited to attend a class and learn with current students.

Step 3 — Visit Us

The Academy welcomes prospective students year-round and encourages you to schedule a virtual visit to experience what it’s like to be an AJRCA student. Your visit will include participating in our student-led minyan, observing classes, meeting faculty and current students, and an informal conversation with one of the deans and/or the president.

Please be in touch with Robin Federman, our Director of Admissions, to learn more and schedule your visit: rfederman@ajrca.edu.
